But there's one thing he's not quite ready for: Selena Gomez's new album Revival. While Bieber tells Billboard, "I'm proud of the woman she is today," he can't bring himself to listen to her latest album.

"I know I had a lot of play in that one. I don't know what she's saying about me," he admits. Part of the reason is that the wound is still fresh: "When you love someone that much, even if something comes between you, it's a love that never really dies."
